Magic Review - The Shirt that Knows by Leo Reed

David from Magic Orthodoxy delivers an enthusiastic review of Leo Reed's "The Shirt That Knows," a clever mentalism prop available from The Magic Apple. He's impressed by the concept, praising it as a modern and versatile Everyday Carry (EDC) item capable of performing multiple effects without extra props. The shirt itself is comfortable, doesn't scream 'magic prop,' and comes with a concise instruction sheet from Leo Reed, encouraging performers to develop their own routines. The included concert tickets add another layer of potential effects, allowing for reveals based on spectator guesses. David highlights the use of the 1089 force as a core method and emphasizes the importance of crafting a believable story around the shirt to maximize its deceptive power. Ultimately, he wholeheartedly recommends "The Shirt That Knows," calling it a "genius" concept and a worthwhile investment for any mentalist, especially for casual performances, and appreciates Leo Reed's inspiration from magic legends like Carl Foles and Phil Goldstein. He also briefly promotes his other channel, 'The Magic Channel Card Tricks', which focuses on beginner card magic.
